  1. Both good. Only recommendation would be to try and find something with an air fork. It is ALWAYS* worth it. *Disclaimer: On entry level bikes I mean, not the Ferrari's of coil forks
  2. For me it's simple. I'm not the fittest or the best distance rider. But give me some tight singletrack, rocky decents, put me on my ass more times than I can count, scare me silly, make me cry, challenge me around every turn.....and them I'm at my happiest. Anything but dirt roadie races with tons of ups with a few downs. Singletrack does slow down racing groups, so even rocky decents or ascents to shake things up. Obviously not what everyone wants.
  3. Noun percussive maintenance (uncountable) the use of physical concussion, a knock or a tap, in an attempt to make a malfunctioning device work. Lol
  4. Those are great sleep aids for me. Buy a 710ml monster and sleep like a baby. Seems I'm wired wrong for caffeine. Oh and OP try Regmakers....nice caffeine tablets
  5. Watch the leftovers and then tell me and Stretch what you think. Especially the choking scene, a WTF of note.
  6. Yup, 71 minutes of WTF is actually happening....has not been my favourite. On another note, watched The Flash Leaked Pilot, pretty awesome, enjoying Defiance again, The Last Ship is also new and is a fun watch if not award winning.
  7. How about this? Bit of red and white to tie it together. http://www.29ercafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Hard-Eddie-bike-hr-86-e1341427725817.jpg
  8. Yup, according to the interwebs it doesn't matter. Schwalbe mould the rotation direction into the tire, very small.....and only on side side. Hard to find even if you know it's there.
  9. Haha, not comparing at all. Just advising against the house brand ones. I actually like the look of the Etto and will propably be my next helmet, and only suggested the Yukon because I know it works.
  10. So much this. I made the mistake of buying a cheapie Mr. Price one, it sucked. Got a Bell Yukon FS, great helmet for a great price.
  11. Ask your doctor about Zithromax, stuff is legend for me. I'm allergic to penicillin and longer course anti biotics don't work. Only thing that got me sorted last year.
  12. Have an irritating cough that comes and goes, and my chest feels tight. If I get on the bike I can't breathe in 5 minutes flat. Sucks a bit.
  13. Need to mention this one, due for a rewatch again:
  14. Guess that makes this a storm in a c-cup..

  16. These are not the clothes you are looking for and bonus bad joke Customs are only in it to live long and prosper....
  17. Technically standard bank is the broker i suupose. Im on the same insurance. The premium and excess is unbeatable and the one claim I had was good. Outsurance were the only company to ever quote me insurance higher than my car repayment. R4200 for a R120 000 VW Polo in 2007.
  18. While insurance companies are a pain in the ass. This is kind of how it works. Always always have you're own insurance on a car, not worth the risk.
  19. It was within bounds and abounds with usefull information.
  20. Not far when a lot of them seem to be doing their best to destroy it. I walk into a certain big cycle shop chain(yes that one, won't say which branch, but not the closest to me) yesterday as they are the only place open on a Sunday. I require a starnut. Fairly common as oh, 99.95% or so of bikes use said item(correct me if I'm crazy), ask, get blank stares, no they don't have any.....ok, have any topcap sets with them in? Nope? Are you sure they're pretty common. Why no I wouldn't like to scratch in the takeoff and odds and ends box. Very nice of you to offer but pretty sure any starnut in there won't work so well. Maybe it's just my luck never being close to my local shop when I need stuff but yeah.

  22. Or look at the one MissionS posted on the previous page. He got that one first
  23. Photo below. The grey bushes allow you to tighten the caliper with it centered, otherwise you would need everything to align 100% which it never would. http://cdn.media.cyclingnews.com/2010/06/14/1/avid_xx_world_cup_caliper_600.jpg
  24. Easiest is just copy paste.
  25. Agreed, swap out the spacer and the bolts. They are'nt really expensive,
